    Do you not have to do four? I'm not doing Arts but I thought the people I know doing Arts did four subjects in first year? :o

    They got rid of 4 this year, so now you can only do 3.

    I'm after reading through NUIG's student guide just to distract myself and... I just want to go now :')

    Papers dont come in till 4ish in most shops to be honest...everyone get some rest
    aand stop panicking:)

    The only reason I'm still up is that I went out last night and was only getting up around 12/1 today. I fully intend on going to sleep and getting my mam to wake me up on her way to work.

    Went and found a house with some friends in 2nd year with the idea points in MDI wouldn't come down so I'd be going to NUIG. So found a house in the housing estate across from Menlo. Forget the name of it.

    Salthill- the aforementioned heavy bike will get dragged down a flight of stairs by my sorry ass every morning for the next 4 years*- fun.

    Good on ya, you should post all of the NUIG points first just so 3/4 of the forum can calm down!

    Centrepoint. Location seems a bit of a balls but the apartments looks good.

    I'll be staying there. I'll keep her warm for you :p

    Same, all paid up thank God!

    Same, they have the payment deadline extremely close to the offers though which would be a problem for a lot of people! Like if someone isn't sure that they are going to galway but get an offer, they have 2 days to get the money to Corrib!

    If anything on previous threads are something to go by, this year and Corrib should be interesting :pac:

    Ah well labs and tutorials are wayyyy smaller, so it's way easier to make friends in those :):D
